SOLENT QUIS DICERS TALSULI AUDEAT ? L 0 ND 0 IV, TUESI)AV, OCTOBER 24, 1809. Just before this Paper was put to Press, we re ceived Moniteuns and other French. Papers to the 17th instant, from which we_ have only had tine to make the following extra&s. It is = most singular that these Payers contain no positive intelligence re peaing the Peace. ,ALTo:sia, OCT. 4. --Denmark is not. comprised in the Peace between Russia and Sweden. The Danish Minister M. DE BLOME had arrived at Frderick sham, but tile Swedish ,Miniter, M. STEM i*IG; was' not furnished with full powers. Denmark ri,n I we-. den will therefore treat separately, but as 'neither Power bus made any conquests they will probably soon agree. Pains, OCT. 11.—A Court-Martial has been held on board the Admiral's ship at Rochefort,- to try Capt. Raac►RßE fcr the loSs of Le Tonnerre in Basque Roads ; Cdpt..LAToN, for the loss of the Calcutta ; Capt. PROTEAU, for the loss of L'lndienne; and the Commander of La Taurville frigate. The proceedings occupy five Numbers of the 211oniteur. PARIS, OCT. 14.—Generals BERTRAND and LE.• BRUN, Aides-de-Camp to the'Emperor, are arrived at Paris from Vienna.—(Joutnal de r Empire.) • By a Decree of the 28th of, September, his Ma jesty has appointed . General MENOU Governoi• of Venice; and General VIAL Commander in Chief of the troops assembled at Trent, in the Italian (LI, ;7i.) ' . The Dike of RAGUSA arrived last night. PARts, Ocr. 15.—1 t is said that the Emperor is expeled to-day, or to-morrow .at the latest, at Fontainblean. , It is added that his, Majesty brings the Treaty of Definitive Peace. with him. Accord ding to other reports, his Majesty will arrive at Fon tainblean cm the 20th. News from Frankfort of the loth state, that the news of the conclusion of peace between - France and Augtria, announced solcmnlyby the Official Ga zettes of Munster and Stutgard, is not officially con firmed. The last letters froM Vienna otily offer hopes, which in reality are well founded.—(Gazette de F. once.) According to news from Vienna, of the 7th, the suburbs of that city were filled with soldiers who had quitted the neighbouring camps. The Emperor was at Schoenbrunn on the 7 th,but all was ready for hiq eeparture. Our. 16.—The most recent news from Vienna is of the gill. The •Emperor was 'on-that- day at Schoenbrunn, bat it was generally believed he would set oui on the 12th for Paris. • 'The Moniteur de la .Meuse contains the following article i—We learn that the Prince of Wagram and Neufchatel traversed the depirtment of the Meuse on the 12th. The report of the signing of peace is confirmed. The - ,Emperor will row return to his Stares. The Comptroller of the Imperial Household pass ed Nancy on the 12th, on Lis way from Vienna to Paris. Several conscripts of the Imperial Guard passed Nai,cy the same day, returning from Ger- m3ny. STUTGALD, OCT. b.—The King of Wirtembergh teceived yesterday, by a courier, the news of the Pre liminaries of Peace having been signed at Stock holm, on the 29th• ult. VIENNA, OCT. ti. - His Majesty the Emperor and K fig is yet at Schoenbrunn ; but his approaching dqait . %re is still talked of. On the Ist of this month was shot upon the gla cis, a man of the name of Guignard, Private Secte wy to the Commandant of Vienna, conviEted of having tvrayed the confidence of the Officer to w om he lk as a tacked. Vt F NNA, Ocr. 6.—There was yesterday a grand rated , at Schoenbrunn. His Majesty reviewed the Regitnent of Nassau, and a part of the Freud' and Italian Guard. His Majesty set out this.rnorning at three o'clock, Nisit the position of Simrneringbeeg, a mountain which separates Lower AtistLia and Styria. After having travelled forty leagues in going and-return in.', his Majesty returned to Schoenbrunn at three o'clock in the afternoon. MADRID, Ocr. I.—The Marshal Duke of Er.- CHLISGEN (Ney) arrived yesterday in this Capital; his Excellency had the honour to be presented this tnOrritng to the King. ROMANA has quitted his troops in Callicia : to take part in the intrigues of Seville, and to second the English Party, of which he is one of the principal supporters. The Public Prints- have given erroneous state ments of the Ministerial arrangeinents. ' Among others, it is said that Lord PALMERSTON is tO suc ceed Lord CASTLEREAGH, but that is not the fa&, as the Noble Lord is expealed to succeed Lord G. .L: GOWER, as Secretary at War. with pleasure we learn that the melancholy tidings from Weytilduth, which we alluded to on Saturday, and the rumours which have been gene rally prevalent4r the last two or three days, are not true. His MAJESTY yesterday gave orders for the return of the Princess AMETIA to Vindsor, and the Prince of WALES'S bed-carriage is to leave town 'on Thursday morning for that purpose—a proof that her Royal Highness must be improved in her health ; though we regret to find that 'the air of Weymouth has not been produaive of all the benefit which was expeE•ted from it. The French, or democratic party In America, are indefatigable in their efforts to produce a war between. • Great Britain and America. They seem apprehensive that Mr. JacksoN's, instruaions may be of such a nature as may lead to the restoration of harmony be •tvyeen..the two Countries,. and they endeavoured, by the most unfounded assertions and the most . scur rilous i.buse, to inflatue the mob against him, and to urge them to commit some a& of violence;.and they succeeded so far as to procure the burning of his 'effigy on' the beaCh in his - sight. If . the. American Government should be influenced, by any thing like a similar feeling, all hopes of an amicable arrange' ment must yanish. We hope, for the sake of both 'Countries, that this is not - the case ; but khe decided preference which has upon all occasions been shown to France, is not calculated to • excite any sanguine expectations of - a favourable issue to the Negocia tions. We are, sorry to find that fresh difficulties have arisen respeEting deserters ; several of the crew of die Africaine escaped.on shore, and though they were taken .up,and regularly claimed by the British Consul, yet it Was decided in an American Court that they should not be delivered up. Some. doubts appear still to be entertained, re,: spelling the Conclusion of the Peace het ween. France and Austria, founded upon the silence of the Papers which - have been received of a date subsequent to the 1 t th, hnd npon some private Letterg which were yesterday received. One Letter, received by amen-. chant of respeEtability in the City, from Holfilnri,. contains the following expression :—" All Idea of Peace is vanished ; not a word now passes upon the subie6t." Government are, we believe, not in possession of' any other intelligence upon the subje&, but what is contained in the Dutch Papers; but Pri-ittce STAtt- REMBERG has, we understand, declared, thatfrom the accounts which had reached him, he was led to ex pea an althost immediate renewal or hostilities. _ That a&ive and zealous Officer, Capt. M'VEcAro, while Ading Commander of his Majesty's ship Rover, on a seven weeks' cruize on the coast of Nor way and Jnland; took and destroyed eighteen sail of the enemy's Vessels, and only lost one marine kilfe t, the boatswain and oneseaman vvoundecl. In m-dcing one of -the above captures, the Rover chased close to the shore, within two fea of her own draught, under the fire of the enemy, the crew having.aban doned the vessel, and the Rover's boats .being, all de tachedon other service, several seamen of the Rover : volunteered swimming to take possession of the prize, which they effected unhurt, under a heavy fire from the enemy on land. • We learn by a vessel which sailed from the Cha 7 rante, a few days ago, that several of the Officeri who commanded the French ships in the affair at' Basque Road, lin; etwen tried for tniscondoet upon that occasion. The Captain of the Calcutta has been shot for cowardice, arid another has been sen tenced to three years imprisonment. Many other Officers are kept under close arrest. A Court-martial was held at Portsmouth, on Monday, , ..on George Dogherty, seaman, ,of the Rur yalus, for stabbing and cutting Philip Tobin, seaman, of the same ship. He was sentenced to receive 200 lashes. On the same day, John Heron, alias Her;• ran, private marine, of the .Bellonet, for )-obbing Isaac Francisco and Joseph Stone,. of the Belloria, was sentenced to receive 300 lashes.—Sir JOSEPH SIDNEY YORKE, President. , • The most recent accounts from the Tagus are to the 3d inst. The head-quarters of-the British army were still at Badajoz. The troops bad been rather sickly, but were recovering fast. When the 27th regiment, which were on their march, should join, the effective British force, under Lord W . F.t;LINT.G- ' TON, it is said, would not be much less than 36,000 men. His Lordship was hourly expelled at Lisbon, 1 to take his seat as heild of the Regency. , . Sittings appointed in Middlesex and London, be- . Hon.

Sterling, was voted_ to the British an,, Foreign Bible Society, and an additional supply .of- New Tea -1,. taments, in the Danish language, to the prisoners of wdr at Greenlaw. The sloop Harriet, .a trader, from Bristol to Mil ford; with many passengers on board, was a few evenings since overtaken by a violent gust. of wind off the Crow Point,. when the boom suddenly swung round, and struck Cap.t.-P.aossEß overboard,. and all attempts to render ►iim assistance proved ineffeCtual. He was a very industrious man, and has left a widow and fOur children. ILLumiNATio.K.—Mr..Bttowli-,. whose pre-emi nent talents as an engiaver of gents ; we have noticed, has prepared a transitarent painting en the occasion of the 'jth3ll,te; at bis. house in Grosvenor-square, which,. me doubt not, will be among the mat. conspicuous ornaments of the ca pital to-morrow -evening. The subjea is as follows : The. eye of * ) teovID§NCE, which .appears on .the top of the work, •is .dit4.-ted.towards part of a column, on Nt‘hiell, is llaced a medallibri - , with a profile of his:.NlAJEsvy supported on the dexter side by NEPTUNE, on the sinister side by 1311ITANNIA. i 6 pat t of a circle.divided into.compartments, and'the number fifty is exthly over the top of the medallion. A pile of books is seen at - the base of the pedestal, •suppotting a mitre, with a scroll. on each . side,•one . marked with the word.- RELIGI oN, and the other . with LAW.- surrounding scenery . shi [ ws' the site io be an island. In the back ground, is fleet giying a royai salute. On one. side of the citiet painting, ann to complete the allegory, ,is an. e:iihleMatical" figure of Tns'AßTs, and on t he of ter CO:qm - titc. The whole is an offering of taste and. geniu its well as of loyalty, that is highly honour able to the principles and talents 'of the ingenious artist. - • COVENTGARDEN THEATRE. The same outrageous scene took place at the end of.fhe s , :cond aft Of The illoodni on• last night, at this - -Th;:!atre, as we have so long had the disagree 4ble task of recording. Nothing could be More peaceable and attentive than the cdndual of the au -dierk4 during the two first ',at:-Is,, and theTl4eaire v. -a;sO well attended, that-we indulged a hope that there ,would not be room enough for'such a number of the half-price visitors as to disturb the entertain at. en t :of the people atlarge; but this appeararice wn . wholly delusive, for very soon after these halt-price visitors entered the Theatre, all was. again uproar and, confusion. A base expedient was Praotised on the-,King's side of the Theatre, in the pasige tO tfie - dress-boxes. A struggle took place, for admissi9o between some persons, in which - there was niyillter ference on the pan of the Police ciffiCers; or the servants of the Theatre, yet two or't hree diaries . in. the boxes addreSsed the peOle - in thopit, and told them that the Peace Officers had broken a Gentleman's arm in the attempt to seize ,hirn.- There was not the slightest foundation for this flagitious story; as the contest was. merely a struggle into one of the boxes. The discontented party were chiefly young men, who were soon dispersed over the • pit . and in the back-boxes.; but it must be inferred that their efforts were not contrary to the sentiments of a great' iirt of.t he audience, for otherwise the latter would have found it an easy matter to put- down the o pp o n en t s of the Proprietors Several persons, in the second tier of boxes threw down parcels of printed and ma nuscript papers into the, pit i . but they were not read to the zudience. A few inscriptions were held up, but they did not seem to make much impreSsion, for the malcontents chiefly direeled their attention to wards the,stage, and obviously wanted no incite- meat. person, seemed to bitt nd on, who had be A a • C O k n i t o to f ok sha p a la l e -fi e s i i n it. the O P n i e t, manifested a disposition favourable to the Theatre, was hustled out of the pit..,--As we knoW that our Readers wish to see what. the wet and humour of the opposition can produce, We'sUbloin the inscriptions of last night. ‘• What do you want ?"--Ans: " Old Prices." - rausvhave New !"—Answ.
